Structural investigation on SPI-6-associated Salmonella typhimurium VirG-like stress protein that promotes pathogen survival in macrophages

Shilpa Ray et al.

Summary: Enteric microbial pathogenesis is achieved by virulence factors encoded by pathogenicity islands. This study characterizes a protein, STV, encoded by SPI-6 in Salmonella typhimurium, and reveals its role in modulating bacterial survival mechanism in macrophages through SPI-1 and SPI-2 genes.

Role of OB-Fold Protein YdeI in Stress Response and Virulence of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis

Aryashree Arunima et al.

Summary: The protein YdeI plays a crucial role in stress response and virulence of S. Enteritidis, as its deletion resulted in decreased survival under various stresses and reduced invasion and intracellular survival abilities. Transcriptional regulation of YdeI by PhoP was demonstrated, indicating its importance in the pathogenesis of Salmonella.

Salmonella versus the Microbiome

Andrew W. L. Rogers et al.

Summary: A balanced gut microbiota is important for health, with competition and habitat filters influencing microbiota assembly and maintenance of homeostasis. Once the microbiota has matured, competition and habitat filtering can prevent new microbes from colonizing and protect against opportunistic infections. However, pathogens like Salmonella can overcome colonization resistance through virulence factors that trigger intestinal inflammation, disrupting the normal habitat filtering. This insight is relevant for understanding how inflammation can lead to dysbiosis and noncommunicable diseases.

Interplay between ferric uptake regulator Fur and horizontally acquired virulence regulator EsrB coordinates virulence gene expression in Edwardsiella piscicida

Shuai Shao et al.

Summary: In Edwardsiella piscicida, iron uptake systems are co-regulated by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur), while the response regulator EsrB activates the expression of virulence systems and iron uptake systems to mitigate iron shortage. The interaction between Fur and EsrB is essential for bacterial fitness during infection and survival in seawater environments.

WbaP is required for swarm motility and intramacrophage multiplication of Salmonella Enteritidis spiC mutant by glucose use ability

Yaonan Wang et al.

Summary: The research identified that the Salmonella Enteritidis spiC mutant had enhanced swarming motility and intramacrophage hyperproliferation, which was linked to glucose metabolism. This study also revealed the importance of the Wbap enzyme in glucose metabolism and LPS synthesis, shedding light on the mechanisms behind intracellular Salmonella replication.

(p)ppGpp synthetases are required for the pathogenicity of Salmonella Pullorum in chickens

Xin Wang et al.

Summary: A mutant lacking (p)ppGpp synthetases in Salmonella Pullorum showed reduced ability to form biofilms and resistance to environmental stresses, as well as decreased internalization into host cells and colonization abilities in young chickens. RNA sequencing revealed that (p)ppGpp synthetases not only affected the stringent response, but also controlled the expression of virulence factors, indicating their importance for the pathogenicity of S. Pullorum.

Type 3 secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Gertrudis Horna et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that mainly affects severe patients in ICUs, characterized by high levels of antibiotic resistance and a long battery of virulence factors. Among these factors, T3SS plays a key role in injecting effectors into host cells and influencing immune responses to increase bacterial survival rates. Despite extensive research on T3SS, there are still questions and further points to be clarified or established. Efforts are being made to develop T3SS-targeting molecules to improve patient outcomes.

Bacterial effectors mimicking ubiquitin-proteasome pathway tweak plant immunity

Priyadharshini Ramachandran et al.

Summary: Plant pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria evade the host plant immune system by secreting Type III and Type IV effector proteins, which mimic components of the ubiquitin-265 proteasome system to control plant cellular activities and establish pathogenicity.
